3 milestones
Swim 1km continuously in a pool without stopping. Pool swimming teaches pacing and technique in a controlled environment before you add open water variables. Aim for consistent 100m splits — a swimmer who can hold 2:00/100m for 10 lengths is ready to start open water acclimatisation.
Proof required
Submit: (1) pool swim log showing 3+ consecutive 1km swims in the past 4 weeks; (2) note of your average 100m split from the most recent swim.
What gets checked
- All three 1km swims are continuous — no wall-hanging rests between lengths
- 100m split is recorded from a watch or pool clock — not estimated
- Log covers a minimum 4-week window showing consistency, not just three recent sessions
